Would Gameday go somewhere that has Fox coverage? Not many marquee games that weekend. Best bet for Gameday would be Oklahoma/Okie State @7:30 on ABC.

They did Gameday with the game in NBC this past weekend.

I’m sure it’s been seen, but only Florida has more red zone scores this season while converting on 100% of red zone possessions. The Gators are 25-25 while IU is 16-16.

College football is a mess right now. I am starting to doubt the viability of this season as well as college basketball. The SEC has four games postponed, and now the BIG has another game canceled.

Now the buckeyes get an extra four days to prepare for the Hoosiers.

RE: Maryland vs OSU cancelled.

I was on the cautious side of the “Covid continuum”  but once the BT decided to play I did not, and never will, understand why they put together a schedule with zero slack to make up games that would inevitably be cancelled.  Once the decision to play was made they could have easily started one or two weeks earlier, allowing for open dates, in order to be able to make up games. Really dumb.

I say we beat MSU Saturday then claim COVID-19 cases to cancel the OSU game. Brings them one cancellation away from being not eligible for the BigTen championship game and keeps IU undefeated in the division.

Glad I wasn't the only one thinking this..

Pretty sure Michigan is going to have some Covid cases that week. It’s the only way to avoid a beat down

This actually brings up an interesting point, that I'm too lazy to look up the answer for myself. Is there anything saying 2 teams whose opponents during the same week have to cancel due to COVID cases can't just play each other? For example, say Michigan does have to cancel during the last week of the season but Ohio St. is fine to play. If for some reason Rutgers (Maryland's opponent that week) has to cancel, but Maryland is fine to play, can OSU and Maryland just decide to reschedule their game for that week? That may end up being the only way someone could get 6 games in.

Kudos to the AD's and coaching staffs who worked to put this together on very short notice.  

Cal and UCLA, who both had games canceled today, will meet *Sunday* at  9 am PT at the Rose Bowl. Will air on FS1.

I'm sure they could find a way, but I wouldn't bet on it with the idiot we have running the league now. Nebraska tried to get a game with an FCS team the week Wisconsin cancelled on them and he wouldn't allow it.

SEC, B1G and Pac12 just allowed that exact scenario to happen as of yesterday.

Purdue goes for it on 4th and 10 from their own 20, in a one-score game? WTF? They got a pass interference call for the first down.

Interesting to see what develops at Notre Dame as Brian Kelly recorded his 100th win today as ND head coach.  ND's legendary Knute Rockne had 105 and it's always been viewed as sacred.  Theoretically, Kelly could reach 106 this year by going undefeated and winning the national championship.

Technically he has 79. They vacated 21 wins from 2012-13. I will be shocked if they let him get to 106, they wouldn’t let Lou break it and they actually liked him.
